"Eat, why don't you eat?"
The old man stuffed his mouth with food and chewed it as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
His question was not answered, and the young man showed no intention of moving his chopsticks.
"It's not delicious. It's good to have a bite to eat. Look at the helpers, aren't they all eating?"
"Lao Yu, I can't get used to this."
"Yes, I think it's pretty good."
The old man poked a piece of barbecued pork with his chopsticks and sighed: "The specialty of Longmen is this bowl of barbecued pork rice. It's sweet, greasy, and oily. In your words, it's very unhealthy. But I, the old man, want it. If you don't want to eat it, I'll give it to you again." How about buying some fried rice noodles?"
The young man was about to speak when he saw a man in a black coat walking over with a bowl of food in his hand: "Do you mind sharing a table?"
This person is...
His pupils shrank slightly, but he heard Mr. Yu next to him saying nonchalantly:
"Please."
Zhou Jinru grabbed a rag and wiped one side of the table clean, then put down the rice bowl. He thought to himself that he didn't expect to meet Zhang Zhongtian here. Who was that person next to him? He seemed to have a good background.
But since he was sitting here, he had no intention of getting out of the way. Zhou Jinru held his chopsticks and ate vegetables and meat in one bite, no slower than the old man next to him.
"Zhongtian, what do you think of Longmen today?"
The young man frowned slightly: "Borderland."
He originally wanted to say it was a remote place, but in the end he held back.
The old man tapped the table with his chopsticks: "The borderland is also the territory of the Yan Kingdom, and the people you see are the people of the Yan Kingdom, and they cannot be abandoned to others."
Zhou Jinru thought while eating, if Wei Yanwu hadn't beaten to death in Longmen and expelled the Usas people, Longmen would have had to change its name. Before that, there must have been internal disagreements in the Yan Kingdom.
Zhang Zhongtian said hurriedly: "Teacher, national affairs should not be discussed lightly."
"It doesn't matter. Sitting here today is the territory of Great Yan. What should we be afraid of?"
Zhou Jinru didn't know if he was telling it to himself. He didn't care about it. He only focused on eating, biting a piece of meat in his mouth. He was so happy.
Just at this time, a gust of wind blew from a distance and passed over the restaurant. The coolness dispelled the heat, and a cloud floated from the sky to cover the scorching sun that was shining brightly.
"This trend is not right."
The old man put down his chopsticks and sat aside.
The open space in the middle of the square-shaped building soon became deserted. Within a few minutes, a large group of people dressed in black poured in from outside, each with sharp weapons in their hands.
A tall, muscular man waved, and with his fierce men, he placed a blackboard next to him with a form drawn on it.
"This community is taken over by our Guitou Gang. All residents, whether they rent for short or long periods, will be charged maintenance fees according to the form!"
"Brother, this is called property fee."
"Yes, property fees, did you hear that?!"
A large group of people in Wuyang Wuyang, all with fierce looks, scared the children to tears.
Zhang Zhongtian let out a muffled snort from his nose, his eyes were cold, if he took action, the blood of these lawless people would flow into rivers.
"Zhongtian, you are from the military. You can't see the sand in your eyes, and you can't see the mob. But Longmen is already a land of Great Yan. You must not be reckless and call the pickets to find out."
The old man's carefree words made the hot-tempered Zhang Zhongtian calm down.
"Teacher, if they hurt others, do I have to sit and watch?"
"Good people and bad people have their own laws to control them. You are not the law enforcer, so how can you control them?"
In the courtyard, the tough leader sat in a chair and hummed: "Today you must pay all the property fees. If it is not enough, you can pay it with things. If it doesn't work, you can also sign a contract with our company and pay An opportunity for everyone to work.”
Having said that, it can be said that the picture is clear.
At this time, Longmen is in dire straits, and all walks of life have fallen into recession due to the previous armed conflict. People are even more panicked. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, and they are unwilling to engage in production. The unemployment rate has surged.
Not just in this community, there are a large number of unemployed people in many places. They need money every day. They are anxious to find a job, and gangs take the opportunity to recruit members, causing social security to further decline and falling into a vicious cycle.
The so-called arranging work is nothing more than cheap labor to facilitate the transformation of some gangs and societies.
Twenty years later, in the film and television industry that has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, most of them were transformed from gangs. Most of them were well-known people who owed a lot of blood debts in the turbulent era. However, no one can punish them after they were bleached.
"Of course, if you are unwilling to pay property fees, there is no way out for you, but this community cannot accommodate you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slipper flew down from the sky and hit the blackboard, causing the stand to shake.
The landlord jumped on one leg and appeared in front of the community that came to collect fees, and shouted: "What are you doing? The property fees have been paid. You want money to go to the property management center. Why are you here with us?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, the real estate management center is them, we are us, I remember you, you are the landlord here, why don't we start with you and take the lead in paying the money!"
At the restaurant, Zhang Zhongtian said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable. Where is the Longmen Police Station, how can such a scoundrel be allowed to do evil?"
"No, no, Zhongtian, the situation in Longmen is far more complicated than you imagine. If you want to become a police officer in the police station, it is difficult to get in through ordinary channels. Only local clan forces can get involved, and these gangs are rooted in the local area. The situation is so complicated that it can only be solved by a mere police station?"
The old man ate happily, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"That old man! What are you muttering about?!"
One of the minions pointed at them and shouted.
"I didn't say anything."
The old man quickly lowered his head and pretended to be innocent.
The minions were very satisfied, but still yelled loudly: "Hide well, don't get beaten and go around shouting injustice!"
"This is not what I want to see, teacher. Even if the pickets seize the handle, I cannot allow these gangsters to do evil!"
Zhang Zhongtian suddenly stood up, and his actions attracted the attention of many people.
"Who is that, what do you want to do?!"
The gang leader vaguely noticed something was wrong.
The old man who was still sitting at the table sighed: "You hate evil as much as you hate it. The more you have such a character, the easier it is to be targeted. How can the Longmen Rebellion be so simple on the surface?"
He turned to look at Zhou Jinru, who also looked at the old man without saying a word.
call.
A gust of cold wind blew, which seemed extremely abnormal in such weather.
Suddenly, the old man's pupils shrank sharply, and he saw the masked man in black opposite him holding a pair of chopsticks and stabbing him in the face!
